Art Has To Address Eternal Issues.

If You Look At A Photograph, And You Think, 'my Isn't That A Beautiful Photograph,' And You Go On To The Next One, Or 'isn't That Nice Light?' So What? I Mean What Does It Do To You Or What's The Real Value In The Long Run? What Do You Walk Away From It With? I Mean, I'd Much Rather Show You A Photograph That Makes Demands On You, That You Might Become Involved In On Your Own Terms Or Be Perplexed By.

Taking The Photograph Is The Easiest Part For Me

You Can Never Capture A Person In Picture, Never. You Might Get An Interesting Expression Or Gesture. I Almost Never Research A Picture Subject Ahead Of Time. I Think Karsh Is Full Of Baloney. Can You Imagine Spending A Whole Week Out In La Jolla With Jonas Salk Soaking Up His Ambiance, Then Wind Up Making Him Look As If He's In The Studio In Ottawa With His Thumb Under His Chin?

I Am An Expressionist And By That I Mean That I'm Not A Photographer Or A Writer Or A Painter Or A Tap Dancer, But Rather Someone Who Expresses Himself According To His Needs.

Taking Photographs And Writing Is My Way Of Saying I Was Here, I Saw This, I Felt This, I Heard This.
